The longitudinal tongue ( 2, 4 ) and the longitudinal groove ( 3, 5 ) are laying in one plane that is parallel to planes, which the lateral sides are laying in, and have forms and sizes corresponding one another. End connecting faces are inclined unidirectional and wave-like curved, wherein an uppermost portion of a wave-like curvature of the wave-like curvature is located higher than a lowermost portion of the wave-like curvature of this end connecting face, and forms and sizes of inclinations and the wave-like curvatures of the end connecting faces correspond one to another. Also, it is disclosed a wall built-up of the present timber building elements providing reliability and integrity of the wall as a whole.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to a building industry, namely to timber buildingelements and wall constructions built-up of such elements. The inventioncan be used for construction of new small and low-rise buildings as wellfor reconstruction thereof.

BACKGROUND ART

There are known different timber building elements in form of a timberhaving cross-sectional dimensions less than a length thereof andprovided with connecting elements for joining timbers one with anotherwhen building-up a wall of such the elements [for example: DE2802275A1,27 Jul. 1978; RU2250312C2, 20 Apr. 2005; U.S. Pat. No. 4,330,973A, 25May 1982; WO89/11008A1, 16 Nov. 1989]. However, as such the timberbuilding elements are joining one with another by considerably longupper and lower connecting surfaces when the elements are laying one toanother in rows, reliability of such joints is low, taking inconsideration deformations of different kinds which present in abuilt-up wall or elements thereof. In addition, to fabricate thesebuilding elements, it is required to use a row long-cut wood having ahigh quality along all length thereof. Such building elements also havesuch disadvantage as a high labor intensity due to necessity to performmany manipulations with large-sized elements having sufficiently largeweights.

As a more detailed example, it is known a panelized log homeconstruction, wherein a wall panel comprises a plurality of logs ofpredetermined length stacked on a top of each other [CA 2541653 A1, 09Oct. 2006]. Tongues are machined on log ends such that, when stacked thelogs, the tongues are entering into wall receiving grooves of postsframing the wall panel from both sides. An upper side of each of thelogs is provided with a longitudinal tongue having a rectangularcross-section, and its lower side is provided with a longitudinal groovehaving a corresponding cross-section. When stacking the logs, thelongitudinal tongue is entering into the longitudinal groove, therebyforming a continuous wall structure. Sealing materials can be laidbetween the logs stacked on each other, and the logs are fastened bylong screws along a length of a joint therebetween. This technicalsolution has all of the above-mentioned disadvantages.

Also, it is known a timber building element made of a laminated edgedboard provided with a V-shaped tongue on an upper board edge and acorresponding groove on a lower board edge [RU 28878 U1, 20 Apr. 2003].This building element allows to manufacture a box-like timber by usingtwo edged boards, wherein an internal space, limited by upper and lowerspacers installed along a length thereof, is filled in with athermal-insulating material, and end faces of the box-like timber areclosed by plywood sheets. These box-like timbers can be used forbuilding-up a wall of a low-rise timber house by means of inserting aV-shaped tongue of one box-like timber into a V-shaped groove of anotherbox-like timber. In addition to the above-mentioned disadvantages, thistimber building element has such a disadvantages as a high cost becauseof using different assembly operations when manufacturing the box-liketimber.

Meanwhile, in the prior art, it is know a knockdown panel made of asmall-sized timber building elements, each of which has a structure of alaminated wood brick composed of two laminated boards arrangedsymmetrically and spaced from one another by spacers [KR 10-2006-0025321A1, 21 Mar. 2006]. Herein, particularly, a building element ismanufactured from two edged board pieces set on their edges and fastenedwith each other by a lateral sides thereof. This building element ischosen as a prototype of the present invention. Upper, lower and endedges of the edged board pieces, composed this building element, aredisplaced in such a manner that it is formed a joining element such as adouble tenon on an upper portion and one of back faces, and such as adouble groove on a lower portion and another of the back faces. Thesebuilding elements are used for manufacturing a two-rows wall panel byinserting the tenon of one building element into the groove of anotherbuilding element, wherein the wall panel can further comprise spacers,tightening devices provided with channels for mounting thereof and soon. There are disadvantages of this known timber building element asfollows: complex technology of manufacturing due to necessity to useassembly operations; poor reliability and low tightness of jointsbetween the building elements due to using a rectangular cross-sectionof the tenons and the grooves, that require usage of additional sealingmaterials as well as additional tightening devices to tighten a wallpanel of these building elements along the vertical as well as thehorizontal.

DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION

A technical problem to be solved by the present invention is providing asmall-sized timber building element, which can provide reliability andintegrity of a wall built-up of such elements, particularly by providingreliable and tight joints between adjacent timber building elements ofthe wall, which allow to compensate different kinds of deformations.

Another technical problem to be solved is simplification of amanufacturing process of timber building elements by excluding assemblyoperations.

Still another technical problem to be solved is simplification of adesign of a wall of small-sized timber building elements by using theonly vertical force for pressing joints between the timber buildingelements, particularly by a force of weight the timber building elementsas well as constructions supported on the wall from above.

To solve the technical problem, in one aspect, it is presented a timberbuilding element for building-up a wall, which comprises: a body formedas a profile block having two lateral sides and also an upper connectingface, a lower connecting face and two end connecting faces; at least onelongitudinal tongue provided between the lateral sides on one of theupper and lower connecting faces and one of the end connecting faces; atleast one longitudinal groove provided between the lateral sides onanother of the upper and lower connecting faces and another of the endconnecting faces, wherein the longitudinal tongue and the longitudinalgroove are laying in one plane that is parallel to planes, which thelateral sides are laying in, and a form and sizes of the longitudinalgroove correspond to a form and sizes of the longitudinal tongue. Thisis new, that each of the end connecting faces is inclined and wave-likecurved, wherein: both of the end connecting faces are inclinedunidirectional; an uppermost portion of a wave-like curvature of the endconnecting face is located higher than a lowermost portion of thewave-like curvature of this end connecting face; and a form and sizes ofan inclination and the wave-like curvature of one of the end connectingfaces correspond to a form and sizes of an inclination and the wave-likecurvature of another of the end connecting faces.

The above-mentioned form of the end connecting faces allows to achievehigh reliability of joining between the timber building elements notonly in a longitudinal direction, with preventing a longitudinalrelative displacement, but also in a vertical direction by alignmentthese timber building elements, having natural dimension and forminstability, in a wall blockwork by means of using the inclined andwave-like curved end connecting faces. Here, to press all joints betweenthe timber building elements, it is enough to apply a verticalcompressive force to a wall of these building elements, and it can beenough a weight of the building elements together with constructionssupported on the wall from above to create such compressive force.

It is preferred, if an upper portion and a lower portion of the endconnecting face are inclined, and a middle portion of the end connectingface is wave-like curved. And it is more preferred, if the endconnecting face has a sinusoidal form.

The wave-like curvature can form at least one apex and one through. Andthe apexes and the throughs of surfaces of the wave-like curvature canbe displaced down or up from a central longitudinal axis of the lateralside to allow to prevent edge splintering during processing the timberbuilding element. Herein, it is more preferred, if a value of adisplacement of the apex and the through from the central longitudinalaxis of the lateral side is not more than 1/10 of a height of the timberbuilding element which is measured between the upper and lowerconnecting faces.

An inclination angle of the end connecting face can be 30-89° inrelation to the horizontal.

The timber building element can comprise two or more the longitudinaltongues and a corresponding number of the longitudinal grooves which arearranged parallel with each other at regular intervals from one another.

From a point of view of aligning the timber building elements in a wallblockwork and increasing a degree of tightness of joining between thetimber building elements, it is preferred, if the longitudinal tongueand the longitudinal groove have a triangular or trapezoidalcross-section, particularly in a form of an isosceles trapezium ortriangle. Herein, a slope angle of lateral sides of the triangular ortrapezoidal cross-section can be 20-70° in relation to the vertical.

One of the lateral sides can be provided with a mortise for fixingsecondary members of the wall, for example, for installing an inter-rowspacer in the mortise, which can be used in a two-rows wall blockwork ofthe timber building elements in accordance with the present invention.

From a point of view of quality of a built-up wall, it is preferred, ifthe timber building element is made of uniform timber dried byair-seasoning, and also if the body, the longitudinal tongue and thelongitudinal groove are formed integrally with one another.

In addition, to solve the technical problem, in another aspect, it ispresented a wall built-up of timber building elements having the sameform and sizes, each of which is formed as a profile block and providedwith a longitudinal groove on two adjacent connecting faces thereof anda longitudinal tongue on two another adjacent connecting faces thereof,wherein the timber building elements are laid tightly one close toanother in a wall blockwork in such a manner, that the longitudinaltongue located on an upper connecting face of one of the timber buildingelements is fitted into the longitudinal groove located on a lowerconnecting face of an adjacent timber building element. This is new,that the wall is built-up of the timber building elements describedabove.

The can further comprise a tightening device pressing the wall blockworkalong the vertical.

It is better, if joints between the end connecting faces of the timberbuilding elements of one tier of the wall blockwork are displaced inrelation to joints between the end connecting faces of the timberbuilding elements of another adjacent tier. This design increasesstrength properties and integrity of the wall.

It is preferred, if joints between the end connecting faces of thetimber building elements of one tier of the wall blockwork are displacedin relation to joints between the end connecting faces of the timberbuilding elements of another adjacent tier by a displacement value thatis not less than a length of the joint between the end connecting facesof the timber building elements which is measured along the horizontal,up to a half of a length of an upper or lower connecting face.

EXAMPLES FOR CARRYING OUT OF INVENTION

The present invention will be further explained on examples.

A timber building element 1 formed as a profile block, which anembodiment is represented in FIGS. 1-3, is preferably manufactured as awhole of uniform timber, dried by air-seasoning, in shop-floorconditions using precision woodworking machines.

It is preferred, if sizes of the building element 1 have followingproportions: a length (L) of a lower connecting face is more than aheight (H) of the building element, which is measured between upper andlower connecting faces and is more than a width (B) which is measuredbetween lateral sides of the building element 1. Herein, the length ofthe lower connecting face must be equal to a length of an upperconnecting face.

For example, for the building element 1, designed for building-up a wallof a wood conduit such as a private bath house, that will be describedbelow in details, sizes can be: the length L=450 mm; the height H=110mm; and the width B=50 mm. In this example, the building element 1 issimilar to a common building brick when laying the brick as a stretcher,i.e. when laying the brick on its more long and more narrow face.

There are connecting elements located on the upper and lower connectingfaces as well as end connecting faces of the building element 1, namely:an upper double tenon, comprising two parallel longitudinal tongues 2 onthe upper connecting face and two longitudinal tongues 4, conjugatedtherewith, on a left end connecting face; and a lower double groove,comprising two parallel longitudinal grooves 3 on the lower connectingface and two longitudinal grooves 5, conjugated therewith, on a rightend connecting face. Here, the terms “left” and “right” are used inaccordance with orientation of the connecting faces, as they are shownin FIGS. 1-3.

The pair of the longitudinal grooves 3, 5 and the pair of thelongitudinal tongues 2, 4 are laying in two parallel planes,respectively, which are parallel in turn to planes, which the lateralsides of the building element 1 are laying in.

In this example, a slope angle β of lateral sides of a cross-section ofthe longitudinal tongues 2, 4 as well as the longitudinal grooves 3, 5is 30° and, in general, it can be chosen from a range from 20 to 70°. Asit shown in the FIG. 2, the cross-section of the longitudinal tongues 2,4 and the longitudinal grooves 3, 5 is formed as an isosceles trapezium.Also, it is possible to use a triangular cross-section form for thelongitudinal tongues 2, 4 and the longitudinal grooves 3, 5, forexample, when using tenacious kinds of wood as a material of the timberbuilding element, which are less prone to edge splintering.

The end connecting faces of the building element 1 are inclinedunidirectional and wave-like curved in middle portions thereof in a formof a sinusoidal wave comprising two half-ways. A form and sizes of aninclination and a wave-like curvature of one of the end connecting facesare matching with those of another end connecting face.

In this example, an inclination angle α of the end connecting faces is45° and, in general, it can be chosen from a range from 30 to 89°.

Apexes and throughs of surfaces of the wave-like curvature are displacedfrom a central longitudinal axis of the building element 1 by a distancee that can be not more than 1/10 of the height H to decrease edgesplintering during processing the building element 1.

As it is shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, one of the lateral sides of thebuilding element 1 is provided with a mortise 7 having a vertical slotfor installing an inter-row spacer 8, functionality of which will beexplained below. Meanwhile, in general, the building element 1 aremanufactured without such mortises.

As it is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a timber wall 6, for example for usingin a wood conduit such as a private bath house, is built-up on bearingtimber bars 9 on a concrete foundation 10 with using the timber buildingelements 1, having the same form and sizes and laid on the bearingtimber bars 9 in two rows.

In a wall blockwork, the longitudinal tongues 2 and 4 are fitted intothe longitudinal grooves 3 and 5, and the end connecting faces arejoined tightly in the wall blockwork by overlapping wave-likecurvatures, matching with on another, with forming interlocking joints,which do not require additional connecting means, such as a glue orfixing elements, as well as do not require additional sealing materials.

Such the interlocking joints of one tier of the wall blockwork of thewall 6 are displaced in relation to interlocking joints of another tierby a half of the length L of the building element 1, that is 225 mm forthe above-mentioned sizes of the building element.

The rows of the wall 6 are spaced from one another by the inter-rowspacers 8, and an internal space 11 is formed therebetween.

Holding boards 12 are laid on upper tiers of each of the rows of thewall blockwork, and metal clamp plates 13 of the tightening devices 14are installed thereon, wherein the tightening devices comprise pullingcable-laid ropes.

The pulling cable-laid ropes of the tightening devices 14 are arrangedvertically inside the internal space 11 and spaced from one another by aspecific distance, for example by an equal spacing.

Low ends of the pulling cable-laid ropes of the tightening devices 14are fastened to the anchors 15 of the concrete foundation 10, and anupper end of each of the pulling cable-laid ropes is fastened to theclamp plates by means of its threaded end passed through the clamp plate13 with a rubber damping element 16 and fixed by a claw nut 17 via aring plate, thereby allowing to tighten all joints between the buildingelements 1 and to provide integrity of the wall blockwork of the wall 6.

A blanket water isolation 18 of tree layers of a rubberoid are placedbetween the bearing timber bars 9 and the concrete foundation 10.

The inter-row spacers 8 can be formed of a metal tube, and they can belocated by a height of the wall 6 with spacing apart from one another byan equal number of tiers of the wall blockwork, for example throughevery two tiers of the wall blockwork, and can be located by a length ofthe wall with spacing apart from one another by an equal number of thebuilding elements, for example through every one building element 1.

Ends of the inter-row spacers 8 are provided with metal plates, weldperpendicularly thereto, by means of which the inter-row spacers 8 areinserted into the vertical slots of the mortises 7, which are located oninternal (from a side of the internal space) lateral sides of thebuilding elements 1. Herein, the ends of the inter-row spacers 8 areinstalled into the mortises 7 with possibility of a verticaldisplacement limited by the height H of the building element 1 in aplane of the wall 7, which can take place as result of deformations ofthe building elements 1 in the wall blockwork, for example due toseasonal changes of temperature-humidity conditions between outdoor andindoor environment, due to natural non-uniform shrinkage of the buildingelements 1 and so on. Here, the vertical displacement of the inter-rowspacers 8 can compensate internal stresses, accumulating in the wall 6,and to distribute the stresses uniformly between rows and tiers of thewall blockwork.

In the internal space between two rows of the wall blockwork of the wall6, there can be mounted pipelines of a ware-supply system or a heatingsystem and also laid in electric cables (not shown).

As thermal- and sound-insulating materials to be filled in the internalspace 11 of the wall 6, there can be used sawdust or wood-flakes whichare ecologically-clean mill debris of processing the timber buildingelements 1.

To prevent sweating in the thermal-insulating material, the internalspace of an external wall can be provided with a vapor barrier of analuminium foil.

Depending on locations of the wall 6 in a building, the buildingelements 1 can be used for building-up external walls provided withdoor, window and/or process-oriented openings, as well as for internalwalls or partitions provided with door or process-oriented openingsonly.

The wall 6 can be provided with corner connection means, i.e. cornerjoints, to be connected with another walls and partitions, at this, incorner joints located outdoor of a building as well as in window anddoor openings, it is preferred to form the corner joints as dovetailjoints.

For corner joins located indoor as well as butt corner joints, it ispreferred to form the corner joints by abutting to interfaced walls andpartitions as divided tenon joints on abutting surfaces, therebyproviding fail-safe joining thereof (not shown).

Window and door openings can be spanned by discharging pieces 19 made ofa squared timber having a corresponding length as well as across-section, which provide a fail-safe support thereof on the wallblockwork of the wall 6, wherein end faces of the squared timber have aform and sizes corresponding to a form and sizes of the end connectingfaces of the building element 1. Herein, one of the end faces of thesquared timber can be provided with a longitudinal tongue of a dovetailtype to form a corner joint with another wall or a partition, as it wasdescribed above.

An intermediate pull-rod 20 can be installed in the internal space ofthe wall 6 to tighten the interlocking joints between the buildingelements 1 in a part of the wall blockwork above the discharging piece19 in addition.

Visible lateral sides of the building elements 1 can be provided with adecorative woodcarving pattern to enhance aesthetic perception of apattern of the wall blockwork of the wall 6, which is formed by thewave-shaped interlocking joints between the building elements 1.
